You _do not_want lircd running when creating a new remote config with
irrecord. Once you have the remote control configured, you can test it
using irw when lircd is running.

Are you releasing the serial port using setserial? (Check your
modprobe settings for lirc_serial)

If you have problems recording your remote using irrecord, you can try
to use irrecord in raw mode. However, if you know what protocol your
remote uses (RC5, RC6, etc), you can copy the protocol header file as
/etc/lircd.conf and irrecord (when not in raw mode) will try to use
that to understand your remote.

Cheers,
Nick
